Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Fast vs Slow (inside deer) bullet debate??

I'm with you! Here's a few pictures form this years hunt.

Picture #1 This is from a doe mulie that was shot at 125 yards facing head on with a 30-06 and a 150gr Hornady BTSP with a muzzle velocity of 2800fps. This is the entrance hole and the bullet did not exit and was not recovered. My friend shot this deer and it was his first kill ever.




Picture #2 This is from a doe mulie shot at 80 yards broadside with a 30-40 Krag and a 180gr Sierra RN at 2400fps.

Entrance wound.


Internal.


Exit wound.


Both deer went straight down but one lost alot more meat than the other. Last year I shot my deer with a 35 Whelen and a 250gr bullet at 183 yards and you could eat almost right up to the hole. I don't like shooting up meat.
